No!

Here is what I got.

Nikola Vucevic
Aaron Gordon
Jonathan Issac
Mo Bamba
Evan Fournier
Terrence Ross
Markelle Fultz
DJ Augustin
Al-Farouq Aminu
Wes Iwundu
Michael Carter-Williams
Chuma Okeke
Melvin Frazier Jr.
Timothy Mozgov
so our backup C will Bamba abd possibly Aminu. So it's bye bye Khem! Thanks Howardmass for the info. Team is beginning to take shape. Top 5 defense I suppose.

Bamba and Mozgov.

Mozgov will not even play. Aminu played some Center in Portland. I think the FO did well in the free agency. Getting great value and not overpaying. The contracts for Vooch and TRoss were just right moving forward. Aminu was the cherry on top in this unsuspecting move. Signing a starter who is a major contributor in a blazer team deep in the playoffs. And at a bargain deal! That is a winning move!

It would be a mistake to let Khem walk for nothing.

Mario to the Blazers for a 1 year minimum. Still hanging around the NBA, good for him.

What if it comes to be that no teams have any cap space to sign D Lo? Would he just get screwed?... sign a 1 year somewhere i guess?

mattyBoi · Post #606 » by **mattyBoi** » Mon Jul 1, 2019 3:01 am

I just want to point out that we're in perfect position to trade Mozgov and Augustin's expiring contracts for a high level point guard if one comes available.

That is possible too.

The Ross deal was good and I think The Vucevic deal was good provided he does not drop off. I still want to know the full details.

Aminu is a good addition. I just question if the money could have been spent in the backup. He does fit in well here though.

Lakers, Clippers and Knicks still have a ton of cash.

It would be good if they can do a S&T but it could be tough.

Just don't let him go to an eastern contender. I've been a huge fan of Birch.

You get what you can get even in The East.

I'll miss Birch too.

It all comes down to Fultz.

We are a treadmill team if he doesn't recover and reach his potential.

We are top 4 team in East if he is physically and mentally ready to be our starting PG next season. Plus if Fultz hits his potential, then next offseason, we would have a star to market ourselves to for top free agents.

Fultz's recovery ultimately determines if this team can become a contender (outside of a lucky trade). I think we did enough to stay in the playoffs unless Vuc's and Ross' play last year was 'contract year' play.

I 100% agree.

The Orlando Magic are Markelle Fultz being good away from having a really good basketball team.

If Fultz completely busts this year and gives the Magic nothing, Orlando is going to be in that 38-43 win range again. Probably good enough to make the playoffs, but not good enough to do any real damage.

If Fultz is good, the Magic could absolutely be fighting for a top 4 seed. They have the size, the defenders and the depth. They just lack that one dynamic offensive threat off the dribble.
